<p>This option allows the user to select a default folder to be used when a
<a href="../../mnu_file/new_tab.htm">new tab</a> is opened.&nbsp; The option 
presents a typical Windows <i>Browse For Folder</i> dialog, allowing the user to 
choose a folder.&nbsp; Prior to using this option, the default folder is <i>My 
Computer</i>.</p>

<p>If a folder is set by this option, then subsequently is renamed or deleted 
(ie. folder cannot be found), new tabs default back to <i>My Computer</i>.</p>

    <b>Explorer++</b> has no control over this dialog.</p>
    <p>It is recommended that both of the above settings be changed to display 
    all files and folders when using <b>Explorer++</b>, and to use its own
